allardjd 1,853 Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 The airport diagrams I posted tonight mark something of a personal milestone - 5,000 airports diagrammed. As near as I can tell I've been at this for something like eight years. All the old files have been overwritten so I have no solid record of when I started but that's in the ball park. Everything prior to June 2011 has been updated. My sincere thanks to all who have downloaded some of these and found them useful. Watching the download counter click up is one of life's little pleasures for me and helps keep me on solid ground. These are my small contribution to a community that has provided me more than I can ever hope to give back. John 4 Link to post Share on other sites

brett 2,316 Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 It was a huge undertaking for any one man, you didn't flinch and have persevered. Congrats on hitting the 5,000 mark and for helping many a simmer find their way. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
Captain Coffee 2,030 Posted June 21, 2016 Report Share Posted June 21, 2016 A Herculean task John. I saw the "just pre-5k" list you posted on AH2 forums the other day and my jaw dropped...wowzers. I've only ever downloaded a few local ones from Mutley's, but love seeing them now in AH2... I'll be a regular JAchart user in future even if I don't cause your download # to increase...and will probably add to your request list in near future. Many many thanks for your efforts, and thanks in advance for adding to my AH2 enjoyment. 1 Link to post Share on other sites

Naahh... fewer than 30,000 and many of them are below my standards "cut-off". I'll bet I'm charting them faster than you're flying to them. Thanks, everyone. I appreciate the comments very much. You may or may not know that I'm making a push to finish all the UK airports that are not yet diagrammed (mostly smaller ones) and expect to have them completed in about six weeks. I don't know why I didn't think to do that a long time ago. The UK Airports bundle is far and away the most popular with almost three times the number of downloads as the next most popular. 4 Link to post Share on other sites

Congrats on hitting the 5,000 mark and for helping many a simmer find their way. I have to gratefully acknowledge some help along the way from Quickmarch, who produced quite a few on his own, to my written standards. You literally can't tell his from mine except for the e-mail address at the bottom right. He sent them through me to be posted, but he did the work and deserves credit for it.

John Don't do your self down John. You have made an outstanding contribution to the FS community, bigger and more sustained than anyone I have come across. The fact that this contribution continues virtually every day and has done so for so long is a credit to you. An enormous credit to you. Well done mate. 1 Link to post Share on other sites
